For the fifth consecutive year, Anderson University is among the best college workplaces in the United States, according to one of the largest and most respected workplace recognition programs in the country.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, The Great Colleges to Work For© program placed Anderson University on its Honor Roll—it is one of only two institutions of higher education in South Carolina to receive that designation—as AU was lauded in 6 of 10 Great Colleges to Work For© recognition categories.
Anderson University received high marks in six recognition categories: Job Satisfaction and Support; Professional Development; Supervisor/Department Chair Effectiveness; Confidence in Senior Leadership; Mission and Pride; and Faculty and Staff Well-Being.
Now in its 17th year, The Great Colleges to Work For© program recognizes the colleges that get top ratings from their employees regarding workplace practices and policies. It includes a two-part assessment process: the ModernThink Higher Education Insight Survey© administered to faculty, administrators, exempt professional and non-exempt staff, and the ModernThink Higher Education Institution Questionnaire© (IQ) which captures employment data and workplace policies and practices from each institution.
Recognition analysis for the Great Colleges to Work For program is conducted by ModernThink, an organizational development firm with survey and “Best Place to Work” expertise. The principal factor in deciding whether an institution receives recognition is the feedback from employees collected from the ModernThink Higher Education Insight Survey©. The institutional policies and practices information collected through the ModernThink IQ provides supplemental insight to the employee survey and is reviewed and analyzed both for completeness and content.
